[The recording begins with a muffled thud. This thud is immediately followed by a series of muttered, indistinguishable words that may or may not be profanities.

The muttering ends abruptly. There's a rather sinister rustling sound--the sound of dry leaves, perhaps. It's a distinctly unhappy noise.]

What--?

she's so overjoyed!

[caf_pow_girl]

Where are you?

Awww. <3

[absinthe_eyed]

At my apartment. I'm being accosted by angry houseplants.

She missed her baby brother!

[caf_pow_girl]

On my way.

He missed her back! Only in a subdued, not-telling way. :)

[absinthe_eyed]

Be careful. There're broken pots on the floor.

Awwww! <3

[caf_pow_girl]

The soles of my shoes are inches thick. I think I'll manage.

^.^

Still, watch where you step. The Cattleya is vicious.

Do you know how well plants tolerate alcohol?

[caf_pow_girl]

Someone else mentioned something about Cattleya today actually...

And nope. But we could find out?

[absinthe_eyed]

Really? I didn't know anyone else here kept orchids.

We're going to find out whether we want to or not. The Cambria and Dracula vampira have been... busy.

[caf_pow_girl]

We do have at least one florist here that I know of.

Uh oh. Define 'busy'.

[absinthe_eyed]

I wonder if the florist's is having problems today...

Drinking. Playing cards in the pantry. They're back in their pots now.

[caf_pow_girl]

Um...we could find one and ask?

Huh. That's a whole new level of weird.

[absinthe_eyed]

They're probably busy.

It's normal enough here.

[caf_pow_girl]

Maybe we can find someone to tell us how to handle the plants.

Normal and yet so weird.

[absinthe_eyed]

Kurama's down the hall if things get bad. I think it's under control, mostly. The plants were just upset because they haven't been watered...

I still need to catch the snowdrops. They're fast.

You would miss it though, wouldn't you? If you were sent home?

[caf_pow_girl]

I can help catch them.

Yeah. I did miss it the couple of times I went back. It was like I'd had this strange dream that I really wanted to have again.

[absinthe_eyed]

Thank you, Abby.

Sometime I want to hear more about where you're from.
